INTRODUCTION
At any time, and all the more so now as the Union is just beginning to emerge from the
economic and financial crisis that began in 2008, growth and jobs are a key objective for the
EU.
Historically, growth has always meant more energy consumption. But high energy prices on
international markets, and growing import dependence, mean that this “old” model is now
acting as a “drag” on growth and is no longer valid. The challenge is to break this link,
driving growth with less energy and lower costs.

Primary energy consumption in Mtoe
The EU can deliver this new paradigm. As the figure shows, well before the crisis hit in 2008,
the EU had started to decouple economic growth from energy consumption. This was a result
of increased energy efficiency. Since the crisis, the decoupling has continued driven through
price signals and a comprehensive set of energy efficiency policies deployed in recent years;
indeed the rate of energy efficiency has increased even faster1 than before 2008.

Economic growth without ever increasing energy demand is necessary not only to foster
competitiveness and increase affordability of energy, but also for security of supply reasons.
As promised in the ‘2030 Communication’2 of January, and using the most recent reports of
Member States, this review of energy efficiency:


Assesses whether the Union is on track to achieve its ambitions for 2020; and
See Annex [I]

Analyses how energy efficiency can deliver competitiveness and strengthened security
of energy supply beyond 2020 (in the light of events in Ukraine and the response in
the European Energy Security Strategy3).
The review builds on and is fully consistent with the "2030" communication.

PROSPECTS FOR 2020
T
Non-financial barriers, such as lack of information on energy performance, split incentives
between landlords and tenants, and transaction costs in putting together financeable projects,
create important obstacles to the take-up of energy efficiency4. Active public policy is needed
to overcome these market barriers.
AF
Given its potential for cutting costs to consumers, creating jobs and supporting industrial
competitiveness, energy efficiency has been placed at the centre of Europe growth agenda5.
On the basis of the EU objective to save 20% of energy by 2020 compared to projections, a
comprehensive set of instruments6 have been put in place to overcome market barriers that
prevent consumers and investors from adopting cost-effective energy efficiency measures such as lack of information, lack of relevant expertise in the financial sector or the lack of
incentives for landlords to invest in the energy efficiency of the dwellings they rent out given
that it is not they who pay the energy bill.
Most recent reports from Member States point to clear successes. Several Member States are
involving actors that have the most direct link to energy consumers and who previously had
little or no incentive to limit energy demand by placing obligations on utilities to implement
energy saving measures among their customers. These schemes have changed the business
model of energy providers and created a stable source of financing for energy efficiency.
Following the adoption of the Energy Efficiency Directive the number of Member States
applying such schemes is expected to go from five to sixteen. For example in Poland, […]
R
As an example of national action on finance, in Germany the publicly-owned bank KfW has
been providing preferential loans for energy efficiency retrofits of existing buildings and
construction of efficient new ones. Between 2006 and 2009, 1 million homes were retrofitted
and 400,000 highly-efficient new homes were built. The success of the scheme relied both on
the terms of the loans and on the fact that they were integrated into a clear regulatory
framework, including efficiency requirements, information and support7. [add
Estonia/Slovakia/Lithuania example]
D
Inefficient equipment has been phased out from the market; labels applied to TV sets, heaters
(boilers) and buildings have enabled EU consumers to make informed purchasing choices.
Dedicated schemes have provided financing for energy efficiency investment. Placing these
elements within a common EU framework has benefited from the scale of the internal market
and allowed national policy-makers to learn from each other.

http://sticerd.lse.ac.uk/dps/case/cp/KfWFullReport.pdf
In transport fuel-efficiency requirements applied to passenger cars have been set at EU level,
resulting in […]. They have been complemented by national schemes promoting modal shift
and behavioural changes, such as the UK Local Sustainable Transport Fund.
Most energy efficiency policies both at European and at national level have focused on the
non-ETS sectors - and buildings/products in particular. There are, nevertheless, also examples
of successful schemes supporting efficiency in industry – usually through incentives rather
than binding requirements. In Sweden, for example, in the framework of a programme for
improving energy efficiency in energy-intensive industry, companies were exempt from the
energy tax if they committed to and met energy efficiency requirements. Due to the
heterogeneity of this sector companies have been offered full flexibility in how to achieve
these requirements, for example through the introduction of energy management systems, the
consideration of energy efficiency in their investments, or demand management.
AF
T
Now, the up-to-date information submitted by Member States in their 2014 National Energy
Efficiency Action Plans indicate a further strengthening of national policies, and new
measures to implement the Energy Efficiency Directive, in many Member States (see Annex
X). For example, [YYY]. Alongside these plans, several Member States' new national
building renovation strategies (also submitted in 2014) indicate that they are linking a better
knowledge of their building stocks with policies to stimulate cost-effective deep renovation of
buildings and with suitable financial instruments8. Moreover, the draft Operational
Programmes beginning to be submitted under the European Structural and Investment Funds
indicate an increase in sums allocated for the low–carbon economy (in some cases
significantly above the minimum requirements for this objective)9. Financing mechanisms are
being diversified, with less focus on grants and greater use of Financial Instruments
(leveraging private capital), such as soft loans or guarantees.
R
The picture, at both European and national level, is thus of a strong momentum in the
development of energy efficiency policies and instruments, linked to a clear indication that
these measures are having results. Taking this information into account and also considering
that economic growth so far this decade has been lower than previously anticipated10, the
Commission now estimates that the EU will achieve energy savings of 18-19% in 2020. The
EU risks falling short of its 20% savings target by only20-40 Mtoe. Given the wide benefits of
energy efficiency, and the accumulating evidence that policy in this area works, it is now
essential to make the extra effort needed to ensure that the target is met in full.
D
While many Member States are making greater efforts than ever before to promote energy
efficiency, implementation of the EU legislative framework is nevertheless still incomplete
(see Annex III and IV). If all Member States now work equally hard to fully implement the
already agreed legislation the 20% target can be achieved – without the need for additional
emergency EU legislation. Efforts should be concentrated on the following elements:
-

An additional 15 Mtoe of savings by 202011 can be secured by (a) reassuring
consumers of the quality of their buildings by strengthening local and regional
These include structural and investment funds 2014-2020, Horizon 2020, energy efficiency obligation
schemes and funds coming from ETS revenues.

verification of national building codes and (b) accurately informing consumers of the
energy performance of buildings for sale or rent;
An additional 20 Mtoe of savings by 202012 can be secured by fully implicating
utilities in working with their customers to obtain energy savings;
-
With the new EU budget for 2014-2020, the commitment to energy efficiency has
more than doubled. Thus the €23 billion ring-fenced for low carbon economy
investments under the Structural and Investment Funds [update figure] can be
leveraged using Financial Instruments to deliver the necessary investments in energy
efficiency.
-
To ensure a level playing field for industry and accelerate information for consumers,
market surveillance of high efficiency products needs to be resourced in all Member
States . This should avoid the loss of at least 4 Mtoe of savings.

AF
The Commission will continue to work closely with Member States, providing further
guidance (in addition to the seven guidance notes made available in 201313) and support the
exchange of best practice. In addition, the Commission will continue to make sure that EU
law is properly applied, ensuring a level playing field between Member States and
maximising energy savings.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY: THE POTENTIAL FOR 2030
Even with achievement of 20% savings in 2020, the potential for energy efficiency will be far
from exhausted.
Overall, according to the International Energy Agency, efficiency gains compared to current
trends have the potential increase the EU's GDP by 1.1% in 2035, with reduced energy
expenditures of €3.6 trillion for investments of €1.6 trillion14. Taking up this potential will
involve effort, at European, national and city level, in the public and private sectors, to
transform the way decisions are taken about energy investments and behaviours.
Energy efficiency and consumers
R
3.1.
D
Building efficiency has the greatest potential for saving energy and saving money for
consumers. Of the 25 billion m2 of building floor space in Europe, about 20 billion m2 was
built before the early 1990s when effective energy efficiency requirements were introduced
across the majority of Member States15. EU households spend on average 6.4% of their
disposable income on energy, about two-thirds of this for heating and one third for energy
(mostly electricity) for other purposes16. The share of energy costs is growing [insert figure
for the share of disposable income in an earlier year], putting pressure on households. In 2012
almost 11% of the population of the EU were unable to keep their homes adequately warm17.
This is driven by rising energy prices which are due to, on the one hand, increasing energy

prices on world markets, and on the other, growing taxation of energy products. The effect of
these trends has been significantly mitigated by increased competition in the EU internal
energy market and by increased efficiency levels.
About 75% of the EU's building area is residential. In the majority of Member States more
than 50% of residential buildings are owner-occupied18. Following the introduction of
efficiency requirements in building codes, new buildings consume today half as much as
typical buildings from the 1980s, as can be seen below. Nevertheless, 64% of space heaters
are still inefficient low-temperature models19, and [60%] of windows are still single glazed.

AF
T
Figure 2. Evolution of Energy Need in Buildings
D
In the case of heat, building efficiency requirements have reduced the amount of energy used,
and recently adopted efficiency and labelling standards for space and water heaters will soon
start to impact the market. Other schemes will have an impact too. As an example, households
which refurbished their dwellings under the Irish Home Energy Saving scheme are expected
to save on average €450 per year on their energy bills20.
For electricity, more efficient appliances are expected to save consumers €100 billion
annually by 2020 on their energy bills, equivalent to €X per person. Their increasing
efficiency will be however offset by increased use of leisure appliances, multiple computers

and smart appliances, reinforcing the need to continue with relevant policies. Increased upfront spending on more efficient buildings and products of [X][X] will save consumers [Y]Y]
per year on their energy bills. Rights to fuller and more frequent bills – and to take part in
demand response markets – give them the power actively to manage their energy
consumption. Reduced demand for fossil fuels will lead, in turn, to lower prices. According to
one estimate, ambitious energy efficiency policies will cut the price of oil by [0.7%][1.4%]
and the price of gas by [2.1%][4.2%]21.
More efficient buildings offer the people who live and work in them other benefits. The
"ancillary benefits" of better windows, such as protection from external noise, have been
found to be just as valuable to residents as the reduction in heating bills22.
T
It is true that between today and 2020 energy efficiency awareness will grow, new buildings
will offer an astonishing level of energy performance and the cost of efficient equipment will
come down.
AF
But most boilers will not be replaced during the next six years; most buildings will still be
old; and most old buildings will not have been refurbished. A vast potential for cost-effective
energy efficiency improvements will remain. Since the introduction of energy efficiency
requirements in the building codes of most Member States the average building energy
efficiency has been steadily increasing at the rate of 1.4% per year23. This improvement
remained relatively limited due to the age of the EU building stock and low renovation rates.
The Member States that had the most success in reducing the consumption of their building
stock combined stringent efficiency requirements for new and renovated buildings with
programmes aimed at renovating existing buildings. Thus in Germany and Slovakia the
average energy consumption per dwelling decreased by 50% since 1990, compared to 35% in
France and the Netherlands and 11% in Ireland24.
The biggest challenge is therefore speeding up the renovation rate of the existing stock from
1.4% - today’s average - to above 2% annually.
3.2.
Energy efficiency and security of supply
D
R
The European Energy Security Strategy (EESS) focusses first on emergency short term
measures for improving the situation of the Member States that depend on a single external
supplier for their gas imports (Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and the Slovak
Republic) or the operation of their electricity network (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania). It
emphasises that moderating energy demand is key to the security of supply . The Strategy lays
out a medium and long term strategy to reduce energy imports into the EU at large, with a
particular focus on gas because the inflexibility of gas distribution pipelines makes loss of
supplies from one source harder to replace from elsewhere. It identifies moderating energy
demand as "one of the most effective tools to reduce the EU's external energy dependency and
exposure to price hikes"25.

[reference]
Since experience so far has shown the effectiveness of policies already in place, this review
analysed the potential impact of extending them through more and deeper building
renovation; more efficient products; information for consumers on energy performance of
buildings and products; promotion of Energy Service Companies (ESCOs); energy efficiency
obligations for utilities; promotion of district heating; creating markets for demand response;
CO2 standards for light duty vehicles; and support (e.g. through research and innovation) for
advanced technologies in industry.
3.3.
Energy efficiency and industry
T
This analysis confirmed the conclusion of the EESS. The moderation of energy demand is
indeed a powerful way to reduce the EU's external energy dependency. Adding to the alreadyagreed mix of policies for 2030 an ambitious energy efficiency policy, with energy savings of
[30%][35%], would impact, above all, buildings. It would [triple][quintuple] the savings
achieved in this sector. Since [61%] of gas use is in buildings, this translates into big cuts in
gas use ([115][160] bcm) and gas imports ([90][120] bcm) – for comparison, gas imports
from the Russian Federation were 90 bcm in 2012. Every additional 1% in energy savings
cuts gas imports by 2.3%.
AF
The EU Emissions Trading Scheme is the main tool to drive energy efficiency in industry.
aAmbitious energy efficiency policy, however, creates opportunities for European industry –
especially in construction (a sector dominated by SMEs) and by creating markets for efficient,
high value-added appliances. The demand for energy efficiency creates employment
opportunities, replacing, for example, the burning of fossil fuels with the fitting of insulation.
Ambitious energy efficiency policies would deliver increases in net employment of
[650,000][1,100,000]26 as it is estimated that on average €1 million invested in energy
efficiency measures in the building sector creates 17 jobs27.
In part, and especially in industry, improving energy efficiency in the EU has been an
autonomous response to price trends. For example, EU industry uses energy more efficiently
than its US counterpart – and still improved its energy intensity by almost 19% between 2001
and 2011, compared with only 9% in the US28.
R
The overall benefits of energy efficiency policy for European competitiveness are reflected in
predicted positive impacts on GDP (to the extent that there is a level of underused assets and
financial resources to draw on) of [0.9%][1.8%]29.
D
Industry, like consumers, will also benefit from the downward pressure on fossil fuel prices –
especially gas – caused by active energy efficiency policy. And the risk of industry being
penalised by unpredictable reductions in gas supply will be reduced, as the quantity of gas
needed to keep residential customers warm is reduced.

[E3ME reference.] Another study showed higher figures – but did not allow extra demand for labour to
cause wage increases.
Ürge-Vorsatz et al. (2010)
European Commission, Energy Economic Developments in Europe, European Economy (1) 2014
[E3ME reference] estimates GDP benefits as high as 1.8% with 35% energy saving. These results are
likely to be overstated, since they do not take into account growing constraints on the availability of
factors of production. Another study showed smaller, negative impacts – but assumed that all resources
except labour are fully used. Neither study took into account fossil fuel price reductions, which would
tend to increase GDP benefits.
3.4.
Finance for energy efficiency
It is true that reaping the potential for energy efficiency needs investment: but money has
rarely been cheaper, and financial institutions report that for the right projects, funds are
available30. All the opportunities identified in this review will, however, only be delivered in
practice if the financial framework is right. The significant investments that are necessary will
have to be primarily privately financed; public investment will need to focus on leveraging
private capital31.
The business case for investing in energy efficiency therefore needs to become more apparent
to the financial sector. This entails:
identifying, measuring, accounting for and valuing the full benefits of energy
efficiency investments though robust data and evidence that can be used by the
financial sector notably though the use of building Energy Performance Certificates;

standards for each element in the energy efficiency investment process, including
legal contracts, underwriting processes, procurement procedures, adjudication,
measurement, verification, reporting, energy performance (contracts and certificates)
and insurance;

appropriate use of EU Funds (in particular ESIF) and ETS revenues through publicprivate financial instruments to boost investment volumes and help accelerate the
engagement of private sector finance through scaled risk-sharing;

Member States to move away from traditional grant funding and look to identifying
the working models which best address the energy efficiency refurbishment
investment needs in their building stocks (as articulated in their National Buildings
Refurbishment Strategies)32.

THE WAY FORWARD
4.1.
Level of ambition
R
After years of hesitation, Europe’s energy efficiency policy is starting to deliver. Framed by
the 20% savings target for 2020, there is momentum at European and at national level. With
full implementation and monitoring of already-adopted legislation, the EU can put itself on
track to achieve this target, saving 170 Mtoe in energy consumption between 2010 and 2020.
D
Maintaining this momentum, and cutting energy consumption by the same amount between
2020 and 2030, would mean achieving 30% energy saving in 2030. [The Commission
recommends to maintain the momentum of energy efficiency policy at the current level,
and therefore to adopt 30% as the EU energy efficiency target for 2030.][Taking into
account the increased importance of energy efficiency in the context of the European

An example is provided by the ELENA facility under Horizon 2020. €148 million has been earmarked
for project development assistance, working through the European Investment Bank, KfW and the
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The grant support is provided to public
authorities to develop and launch sustainable energy investments, with a minimum leverage (EU grant
to total investment launched) of 1:20. So far, €81 million has been provided to 56 projects, expected to
lead to investment worth just over €4 billion.
[reference: EEFIG interim report]
Energy Security Strategy, and the important role that energy efficiency can play in
promoting growth and jobs, the Commission recommends increasing the rate of effort in
energy efficiency and adopting 35% as the EU energy efficiency target for 2030.]
The potential exists to do this, above all in the building sector.
4.2.
Governance
Energy efficiency policy should be integrated in broader national policy-making for energy
and climate objectives. The target should take the form of an indicative EU target. Member
States should decide the weight they will put on energy efficiency, alongside their pledges for
renewable energy, and include this as part of the governance framework proposed in the
“2030” communication.
T
For 2020, the EU decided to target an absolute level of energy consumption. This provided a
clear benchmark for measuring progress and mobilising the efforts of relevant actors.
It is therefore proposed that the 2030 target takes the same form, i.e. that it is translated into
an absolute primary energy consumption of no more than [1312] [1218] Mtoe.
AF
The Commission will continue to support Member States in this endeavour through policy
measures at European level as a contribution to achieving the proposed savings. In this
context the following elements will be used:
-
The upcoming review of the Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Directives, due for the
end of 2014, will provide an opportunity to update the product-related policy
framework;
-
Reviews of the Energy Efficiency and Energy Performance of Buildings directives
will provide the opportunity to consider what policy elements would be necessary to
drive sustained investments in energy efficiency, especially in light of the currently
planned phasing out of key elements of the EED in 2020. Aspects of these reviews
could be brought forward to 2015.
R
This communication proposes that the EU should now make a firm decision on the level of
ambition of energy savings it wishes to achieve in 2030. But we cannot be complacent. The
Commission therefore intends to return to the topic in 2017, in particular to review:
Whether national implementation is going as intended, or whether it is necessary to
revert to the issue of binding energy efficiency targets;
-
Whether the proposed formulation of the 2030 target remains the best, taking into
economic developments.

ANNEX I – Trends in energy consumption, 2000-2012
Changes in economic and social activity between 2000 and 2008 (increased manufacturing,
more transport, bigger homes…) accounted for an increase in final energy consumption of 16
Mtoe33 per year - offset by a reduction of 11 Mtoe per year from increased energy efficiency
(that is, reductions in the amount of energy needed to achieve a given result)34.
Following the crisis, of course, economic and social activity fell back. This cut energy
consumption by 5 Mtoe per year between 2008 and 2012. At the same time the underlying
energy efficiency trend continued, and even increased to 13 Mtoe per year.
